The Galaxy Camera 2, which came two years after Samsung released its first Galaxy camera in 2012, can be directly connected to Wi-Fi, allowing users to upload pictures on social media such as Twitter and Facebook.

Samsung said the latest "smart camera" is also equipped with the near-field communication (NFC) technology, which allows wireless data exchanges between two devices in close proximity, further bolstering its connectivity to other smart devices.

The camera features "Tag & Go," a system which allows users to share photos by slightly touching the device with smartphones or tablet PCs.

The camera is equipped with a 4.8-inch touch screen and a 16.3 megapixel back slide illumination CMOS sensor, with numerous features such as "selfies" that make it easier to take photos of oneself. (Yonhap)
